Biblioteca Angelica was the venue where the International Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS) hosted a unique exhibition commemorating the contribution of Sikh Army during the Great War (1914-1919).
What is unique about the Sikh Warrior and his inspiration to lay down his or her life? What made them the greatest warriors ever to have stepped on a battlefield? Bhai Baldeep Singh shared that this world is the Paradise and the Sikh warrior has stood out for he lives and celebrates life as a gift of God - of Allah - of Kartar, and if a need were to arise the Gur-Sikh sage-warrior shall not hesitate to make the supreme sacrifice albeit for happiness here in this world; for protecting the idea of acceptance of diversity here in this world. A Gur-Sikh concept is to die to save this Paradise - this Heaven which is here & now!
In this 18th composition sung by Bhai Baldeep Singh, the Guru evokes his mind to awaken for it is the moment to meditate, to contemplate, so all impediments, "O Nanak", may vanish.
This is another marvel from the repertoire of Darbar Sahib, Amritsar, where the Sikh Army men would visit to pay obeisance before heading to fight in the battle. Sadly, this music no longer resonates in the inner sanctum.
